Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

JS is quite poor choice for games, except if you're working on something simple. Electron is a huge memory hog and there are much better solution for desktop application development in pretty much any other language (JavaFX, Qt, Gtk etc).

I hate it that electron apps (skype, teams, vscode, slack) always wake up my CPU even when I do nothing and even when they run on the background. Not sure whether it has to do with electron but I‘m sensing a pattern here. It’s really important for me because I use laptop for work and i feel that running these apps even in background has been draining my battery quite a bit.
